MARK 5.43--NO CAMPAIGNS?

Mark 5.43 says that Jesus "gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this," referring to His raising of the daughter of Jairus from death. (Vv. 21-43)

I wonder:

Jesus is not into promotions, marketing, advertising, campaigning, or even politics to accomplish His purposes of salvation for individuals and the world?

Jesus knew what He was doing and how to reach people for His eternal purposes, as He did with the woman who touched Him and the girl He touched?

Jesus knew how to teach His disciples to reach and teach and touch others in His Name and for His Glory?

Jesus knew that campaigns only brought the curious and detractors and distractions that would hinder true ministry to those who would believe and follow Him into and for His kingdom purposes?

Jesus knew that our work is to seek to know and love Him and seek to bring others to know and love Him?

I wonder if some of this is the reason He often told people not to tell people what He was doing. He knew who He should speak to and who the disciples should speak to. He did not seem to lack ministry opportunties in spite of lack of purposeful promotions of Himself. Nor did they.

Jesus knows that the time spent knowing HIm makes more differnce than time working up campaigns to get attendance to our meetings?

Jesus knows that campaigns to promote greater numbers in attendance to our meetings is mainly for our own self-exaltation, even if we do call it "Church Growth?"

I wonder if some of this is the reason He often told people not to tell people what He was doing or even where He was. He knew who He should speak to and who the disciples should speak to.

He did not seem to lack ministry opportunities in spite of a lack of purposeful promotions of Himself. Nor did they.

Nor should we?
